I just got a great book called Nature in the City: Seattle. We moved from the country where it was easy to find nature. But, I want to appreciate all the nature we have in the city even if it seems harder to find...in all actuality it's right in front of us.

It has been a while since we've done it. To be honest it was difficult getting them excited about it. I went from assigning something for them to draw or journal about, to allowing them free play outside and then choosing something for themselves to draw or journal about. I got resistence with everything I tried, so I just set it aside and contributed it to them 'just being boys' or something. There are so many other things that they love and feel passionately about that I didn't want to feel guilty over this thing not 'working' in my homeschool........anyway. These are just my meandering thoughts. I have several books that inspire me. I may start doing it again myself and maybe that will spark their interest. I love your blog by the way. I've been a lurker for a while. :) Blessings! I guess I need to go back and re-think the whole nature journaling thing. It has been a while since we’ve done it.

Was finding her blog not like meeting a celebrity in person? lol I really don’t know how to articulate that quote better, but just change the word culture to “the world.” Without a solid foundation, we get easily entangled with the world’s system, and that quote solidifies that for me, especially as I see people fall into temptations as they seek to conform and to fit in the mold. In our house, we have a saying: “It doesn’t matter what everybody else is doing, if it is not right, I am not doing it!” Sandi- thank you so much!

I homeschooled our three girls (all grown up and married now, and two are mamas themselves) on a remote farm for many years. You bring back many sweet memories! Thank you, also, for your kind words about my blog. This is such a beautiful post.
